Sep 10, 2018

Every now and then, with a little bit of luck and a little bit of courage, a bug in the app can grow into a wonderful new feature. This isn’t one of those times. We eliminated a whole bunch of bugs. Better luck next time.

A bug obituary: SAN FRANCISCO — A bunch of bugs died this week when they were found and promptly obliterated by Yelp engineers. They are survived by a bunch of other bugs, which haven’t been found yet… but will.

12.16.1

Aug 6, 2018

“Entomophobia” is the fear of bugs, while “Scriptophobia” is the fear of running out of things to write for a release note about removing bugs from the app.

12.16.0

Aug 1, 2018

We removed precisely 37 bugs (and one intrepid spider, which we’re pretty sure isn’t technically a bug) from this version of the Yelp app.

12.15.0

Jul 16, 2018

Things we did: Got rid of some bugs in the app. Things we didn’t do, but should have: Rolled out Request A Ride, a button that summons one of our interns to give you a piggyback ride to the nearest brunch spot.

12.14.0

Jul 2, 2018

Our engineers have been working around the clock to fix bugs and improve performance in the app. The dumb clock is like ten feet wide and it's right in front of Julie's desk, so we don't really have much choice.

12.13.1

Fun fact: The name Yelp is derived from the Welsh word “Ylpllannerchrugog”, which loosely translates to “Those who rid the app of bugs.”

12.12.0

Jun 5, 2018

Sometimes you successfully eliminate a bug. Sometimes you fail to eliminate the bug. Sometimes you fail 27 times in a row. It's OK! Pick yourself back up again. There's always next season. Or, uh, next version. (We did manage to fix some bugs, though, rest assured.)

12.11.0

May 21, 2018

Two things. 1) We’re gauging interest from the community in subscribing to an analog version of Yelp. Each copy will weigh roughly 60 metric tons. Shipping will not be included. 2) We fixed some bugs.

12.10.0

May 7, 2018

May is here! We decided to celebrate by creating an extensive list of things we love about this miracle month. We won’t bore you with the details, but sunshine, flowers, and freshly mowed grass definitely made the cut. What didn’t? Bugs in our app. These creepy-crawlies really cramp our spring style, so we grabbed some Raid and kicked those pesky things out!

12.9.0

Apr 30, 2018

Spring has finally arrived in most of North America, except, apparently, in the Midwest. We hope you’ll enjoy the sunshine and warm breezes assured that there are now fewer bugs in the app. To our Midwestern neighbors: Hang in there! On the bright side, we happen to know tons of great places to find warm soup.

12.8.0

Apr 9, 2018

Due to a typo in the previous version's code, Yelp briefly became self-aware. We've fixed that along with a few other bugs. Please disregard any poetic, philosophical, and/or menacing messages you received from the app recently.

We’re always talking about bugs, but you know what doesn’t get enough credit? Performance improvements. Yeah, you heard us. They matter too. Here’s to you, performance improvements. We see you. (we did also fix some bugs tho)

Editors’ Notes

We all enjoy discovering new places and experiences but some of us don’t like to be surprised. If you’re one of those who prefers to research then Yelp is the right source for you. From restaurants and shops to night clubs and museums, check comments and ratings by fellow Yelpers and make sure you make the right choice.

They deleted my customers reviews without reasons.

Hi, I am Steven and I own a restaurant business in Lakewood, Washington State. As a food business owner, I understand the importance of approaching the customers, I decided to register my business on Yelp which is an app that review local food.

For 7 months since when we opened the restaurant, we was rated as 4.9 and this is our accomplishment. However, two weeks ago, my customer told me that their reviews for the restaurant has been removed on Yelp. By that time I checked, I saw there were over 30 review and all of them are five stars reviews which have been removed. I don’t understand why, I decided to call them to make clear of everything but when I called tYelp there was two guys named David and Kart who didn’t give me a clear answer. They just kept passing the phone back-and-forth and made me very confused. They even told me that since the customer doesn’t like my business, that’s why they remove the five star review. I even asked my customer to review again on Yelp but when they posted a review it mysteriously gone again.

I am disappointed about how old you were and treat my restaurant this is our accomplishments and the review is not bought or exchanged or any kind of unfair business. We got the high star review because we are took good care and good service of our customer. This is somehow unacceptable for me and until Yelp did not give back the review, I will not support Yelp anymore.

Not great

As a business owner, yelp and really help your business and it can really hurt your business. I am really upset about two different issues but it’s really one big issue:1) I get they want to screen reviews but not all of us have yelp accounts... if I get a positive review, but that person only has 1 or 2 other reviews or is not an active yelp user, it doesn’t count. This upsets be because I work REALLY hard to get these positive reviews that nobody ever sees.2) I received 1 negative review (I own 2 businesses, both on yelp... this was my first negative review.). This review had NOTHING to do with my business. I also had NO idea who the lady was or that I even offended her. I was driving and I guess I cut her off. I had no idea, I also tried calling to apologize because she called my office to complain.How are these related? Because yelp screens my positive reviews but doesn’t screen my negative one. I feel this review clearly does not relate to my business, customer service, or workmanship.I would like to also see yelp have a customer review section for business owners. If a business serves a rude and difficult customer, the business should be allowed to review that customer and let other businesses know what kind of customer they are going to be dealing with.
